Mental retardation: Signs and symptoms
(Professional Guide to Diseases (Eighth Edition))

The observable effects of mental retardation are deviations from normal adaptive behaviors, ranging from learning disabilities and uncontrollable behavior to severe cognitive and motor skill impairment. The earlier a child’s adaptive deficit is recognized and he’s placed in a special learning program, the more likely he is to achieve age-appropriate adaptive behaviors. If the patient is older, review his adaptation to his environment.

The family of a patient who’s mentally retarded may report many problems stemming from frustration, fear, and exhaustion. These problems, such as financial difficulties, abuse, and divorce, can compromise the child’s care. Physical examination may reveal signs of abuse or neglect.

People who are mentally retarded may exhibit signs and symptoms of other disorders, such as cleft lip, congenital heart defects, and cerebral palsy as well as a lowered resistance to infection.
